Frequently Asked Questions about Laser Treatment for Skin Imperfections / Benign Pigmented Lesions / Brown Spots

Who Can Be Treated?
  • All skin types from light to dark skin color
  • New, old or faded tattoos
  • Undesired parts of an existing tattoo
  • Previously treated tattoos by other laser systems (this reveals how much more advanced our laser system really is)
  • Benign brown spots, age spots, sun damage, melasma of the face, body, and hands
How does it work?

The Enlighten laser is the only laser of its kind to offer dual wavelengths with both the nano and pico pulses. It can provide more speed and power options than other lasers on the market, which means more effective treatments in less overall time, up to 40% faster. A nanosecond of light comes in at a billionth of a second while the picosecond energy comes in at a trillionth of a second, creating a photoacoustic effect. The laser light hits so fast that it shatters the tattoo ink particle or brown spot into tiny pieces that your immune system can clear away via the lymphatics. We can treat a multitude of colors at various settings unlike other lasers with only one wavelength or pulse duration.

Why is this laser treatment better?

The Enlighten laser can offer picosecond and nanosecond technology in one platform with industry-leading pulse energy to shatter these pigment particles into tiny pieces that your body can handle. So, we can treat your ink problem more effectively, quickly, safely, and with less pain. We can offer numbing injections to relieve pain during the treatment. We can treat tattoos that did not respond to other laser treatments because Enlighten offers more power and speed of light.

How long does it take?

Brown spots can often be removed in one treatment; however, some patients may need 2-3 treatments. Tattoo removal depends on several factors, but usually, we can remove tattoos faster and with less treatment than other laser systems because of the advanced nano and picosecond technology. Four treatments are a goal but some patients need more or fewer treatments, depending on their tattoo specifics.
